Starting July 28, Seattle and its neighborhoods turn into one big open-air stage: from jazz and concerts in clubs and showboxes to a major stadium show and rock music in parks. The lineup also includes outdoor movie screenings, waterfront strolls, and food tours through Pike Place Market, as well as theatrical productions and festival weekends—among them Seafair and seasonal summer events such as lectures/performances in city parks. Over the next week, there will be plenty to do for anyone who likes music, movies, and the city atmosphere all at once, across multiple locations—from Downtown to Ballard and Westlake. The event listings were compiled using data from https://www.events12.com/seattle/.
